Akinlalu killings: Gov Adeleke commends police, urges rule of law
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for the swift steps taken in the ongoing investigation into the recent killings in Akinlalu, Ife North Local Government Area of the state.
The governor, in a statement issued on Friday by his Spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, expressed satisfaction with the progress made so far by the Nigeria Police in handling the matter.
Governor Adeleke assured the police authorities of his administration’s full cooperation and support towards uncovering the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident, adding that justice must prevail.
He reaffirmed his earlier directive for a thorough investigation into the killings and urged all residents and stakeholders to support the process to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.
While commiserating with the families of the victims, the governor reiterated his commitment to ensuring that those responsible for the killings face the full wrath of the law, regardless of their social or political standing.
“No one or group, no matter how highly placed or connected, found to be culpable in one way or the other should be spared from facing the full brunt of the law,” Adeleke stated.
He, however, emphasised the need for the investigation to be conducted strictly in line with the rule of law, ensuring fairness and protection of the innocent.
“The police must observe the rule of law throughout the investigation process to guarantee justice and fairness. The innocent must be protected within the bounds of the law,” the governor said.
Adeleke stressed that justice must not only be done but must be seen to have been done, without any form of interference or hindrance.
“I will not condone any violation of the law or act of indiscipline and impunity. In this matter, the law must take its course,” the governor added.
He called on all security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS), the Amotekun Security Network, and other law enforcement bodies, to maintain peace and order while the investigation continues.
“Once again, I urge all stakeholders, particularly the police, the DSS, the Amotekun Security Service, and other security agencies to ensure absolute peace and orderliness while the investigation lasts,” Adeleke was quoted as saying.
